With the February dismissal of head coach Steve Covello and staff, Clifton football is once again at a turning point. The Mustangs, coming off a 1-9 season that was their worst since 1999 (and one of the worst in school history), will usher in a new era this fall, and the coach who is chosen will have the tall task of turning around a team that was largely non-competitive in 2014 (losing by approximately 27 points per game). Since the firing of Dennis Heck in 1987, Clifton’s most success has come under Jim Kelly—now the coach at Queen of Peace—during the Joe Haro era, and the post-rebuilding period under Chet Parlavecchio (recently hired at Passaic Valley) and Ron Anello. The Mustangs won a North 1, Group 4 title under Anello in 2006.
